The Christmas ham is the guaranteed showstopper of the festive table. Win over your guests, slice by slice, with these ham recipes. Ham glazes with honey, pineapple and whiskey feature prominently, and our crusted ham gives a spicy, crunchy coating. We're especially loving Victor Long's char siu-glazed, a happy melding of Cantonese and Christmas flavours.
